@UnniSarah Hi dear!! yeah, long time no see. Glad to see you on this thread
@Wotad I didn't finish watching Fights Breaks Sphere. I quit halfway because the story was getting boring. As for Oriental Odyssey, I haven't completely given up on it yet. I will say, though, the CGI effects of this drama is very bad.

Hello peng yous!
I recently started watching this drama and I'm loving it. Love all the characters, the sceneries, the costumes, but most importantly, the fighting scenes. Also, the CGI effects looked pretty decent compared to other C-dramas. I hope the drama continues to keep us (the audience) hooked and to not disappoint us mid-way like other martial arts/wuxia dramas (i.e. Fights Break Sphere & An Oriental Odyssey).
For those of you who are impatient like me and can't wait to watch more episodes (even without subs), I wanted to share with you the links for episodes 9 - 14. Credits to the owner.

@bastion can you repost the link? I can't access the one you provided and I really want to see it
@xienrue so after the Misty Cloud Arc, how many more arcs are there supposed to be in the novel? If there are too many, I doubt 20 episodes on Season 2 will be enough to cover them all...

@xienrue @bastion have you seen this MV? This is one of the drama's OST and it shows a few scenes that will happen in later episodes. Can you tell from the scenes? I see we will get at least the Nalan Yaran battle with Xiao Yan...

I don't recall in any of latter episodes about the cultivation level that Xiao Yan has. I think he's still stuck in the 3rd level, but I could be wrong.
I really wish for Xun Er and Xiao Yan to end up together in the drama. So far she's the only lady that has stayed/accompanied him thru all his ordeals. However, it got me think.. aren't both of them like "blood" related? Xiao Yan's mom is Xun Er's dad sister, so wouldn't both of them getting together be wrong?
@xienrue As usual dear pengyou, thank you so much for sharing the info on the novel. I still haven't made up my mind to commit to reading the novel since it's sooooo long . I see that you're a Xian Yan/Xun Er shipper and I love it . I watched some clips of the drama and it seems that Xun Er will be joining/going back to her clan and learn how to use the bow/arrow. Was there any time in the novel where Xun Er and Xiao Yan got separated for a long time? Like, she went back to her hometown and Xiao Yan stayed in his...

I thought Xun Er and the Villain Valley boss were the same person, but they weren't. I rewatched the battle episodes and while Xun Er was standing next to the boys watching Xian Yan fight, the Village boss was sitting up on the platform. There's no way they both could be the same person. I'm thinking that maybe she's Xun Er's mom who left the village long time ago and somehow managed to stay young...

OK, so a brief summary of the scene between HN and HG's dad...
HG's dad apologized to HN because of what his wife did to her (throwing water at her and been rude). He told her that even though his wife had every reason to be angry, that's not the way that she should've acted. He continued by saying that compared to his wife, his more disappointed about the turn of events. He asked HN if she's aware that he really likes/favors her. HN said yes. Then he continued on saying that he couldn't understand why all of the sudden, his heart felt heavy/burden. He asked himself if he liked HN because of materialistic things she had (money, company, etc) just as his wife and that's why he had a change of heart about liking HN. But then, he sweared that this wasn't the case and told her that even if he had known about her status from the beginning, he would've still liked her because her honest and kind personality. However, seeing that this personality is not what I thought of, he can't changed his heart (the way he currently feels). HN apologized and sweared that none of this will happen again in the future. She then asked if he could forgive her this time. He told HN that he would like for her to be the one to make a decision (i'm guessing he suggested to break up with HG) because as the head of his family, he can't stand seeing them being a mess.
HG & HN phone conversation...
HN: hello?
HG: i heard you met with my dad..
HN: yes..
HG: did you hear disappointing words from my dad?
HN: no... i wished i would've heard them, this way my heart wouldn't feel this heavy.. it made me feel very apologetic for the big mistake I've committed.. my heart hurts...
HG: i feel the same way... since dad was always on our side... but regardless, you're not thinking about breaking up with me, right?
(HN kept silent)
HG: why aren't you answering? by any chance, is this the case (breaking up)?
HN: i'm not sure...
HG: listen to me... it is true that we made a mistake and that my dad is very disappointed.. however, if we show him how sincere we are, they'll be one day when he will forgive us and have a change of heart..
HN: do you really think that day will come?
HG: we must work hard to make that day come
HN: how?
HG: i'll be the one working hard/putting effort... you can stay still and don't have change of heart (about him) and it will be enough... you can do this much, right?
(HN kept silent)
HG: are you still unsure?
HN: i got it, i'll hang up...

Here's a translation of HG and his dad scene...
HG: i'm back.. what about mom?
Dad: she took medicine for her blood pressure and fell asleep just now.. sit down over there..
(HG sits on the couch in front of his dad)
Dad: is everything i heard from your mom, true? Everything about HN, except for her name, was all fake?
HG: because i couldn't stop my mom from setting up the blind dates, I asked HN to act as a fake couple..
Dad: so, you're saying that in order to deceive me and your mom and to help you in your joke/plan, HN agreed to do it..
HG: i'm sorry..
Dad: ok fine.. let's say I understand the first time she came, however, meeting your mom outside, coming here when you were sick, how is it possible that you didn't say anything? Today, if your mom didn't discover the truth, you two would've continued to deceive us?
HG: dad, is not like that.. i was planning to tell you...
Dad: when? after your mom and i were completely deceived and meeting the in laws (sorry, not sure about this last part )
HG: dad...
Dad: today, I'm also very disappointed with you.. how could you think of deceiving your parents? what you two did not only made your mom be laughed at, it also made me be laughed at!
HG & HN shopping scene...
HN: does white color suits father in law?
HG: i think it does...
HN: then white for father in law and red for mother in law..
HG: you don't have to do something like this (buying clothes).. aren't you overdoing it?
HN: no, i think father and mother in law will look good wearing couple shirts... ah, my mom really liked the flowers and card that you sent her. She said that she finally received flowers from a man, so she told me to tell thank you
HG: i'm glad she liked them
HN: you're always so attentive and taking care of this kind of things, i'm sorry for always being a step behind
HG: you've been having a hard time lately/going thru a lot, so you can be saying this...
HN: they will like the gift, right? i'm hoping they do...
HG: they will...

So at the beginning of the episode we got HG's mom getting to know the truth about HN (being a school dropout, not being a fashion designer, etc) and disapproving of their relationship. She threw water at HN (which I found funny because she also got HG wet) and told HG to breakup.
First conversation between out OTP... walking on the side street...
HN: you should go.. your lunch time is almost over
HG: I should've revealed the truth sooner, so none of this would've happened.. i didn't properly thought about it... i'm sorry..
HN: it's ok... i feel better/at ease now the truth has been revealed... there will be a day when MIL will get to like/approve of me, right?
HG: of course! what my mom said or did just now, don't take it to heart... there's only one HN who is precious in this world, so no matter what anyone says, I don't plan on giving up on you.. you know my feelings, right?
Next scene... at HN's office...
HG: oh, you smiled..
HN: what's with this?
HG: there was a man selling this so I bought it.. i've succeeded.. i bought it to make you smile, and this (toy) did it..
HN: thank you.. i can take it with me, right?
HG: i'm also thankful to you for smiling.. to be honest, i almost gave up everything (meaning work and other stuff) to run/come to you, and barely managed to hold it..
HN: i told you that i was fine...
HG: actually i got scared... getting tired of meeting my mom... or getting tired of meeting me... i was afraid that you would let go of my hand..
HN: (holding his hand) I won't
HG: you must promise, not to let it go no matter what happens from now on, you understand?
(HN nods in agreement)

I know right! Most of the times, I dislike Ha Na's character. In fact, I think the only time I ever liked her was when she confessed SH's and her crime about design. She keeps on being an immature and annoying character. She really needs a slap on the face

OMO OMO!!! JH is the best!!
She met with Director Han and threaten to withdraw SJ Boutique from K1 Shopping. The director didn't want to lose SJ Boutique so he agreed to disregard HG's resignation letter and to leave HN Apparel alone. What I loved the most was that JH told the director that it was not fair for HG & HN to be punished for having a relationship when JE and her are related (family members) and neither one got punished.
Storm is coming for our OTP... So Ha Na revealed to her mom about HN been the criminal from the SJ Boutique incident. As HN tried to explain that the incident was a misunderstanding, Ha Na didn't let her finished and continued with the bashing saying that she's a shameless person. As Ha Na attempted to leave with her mom, HG showed up and told her sister to apologize to HN. Ha Na said what, and he yelled at her saying to apologize to HN. All 3 ladies were surprised by his action and HN said "HG-ssi"...

There was not much conversation on the scene where HG walked HN home. However, I do want to mention that EA thanked HG for being there for HN. HG told EA not to worry about HN because she will overcome. The next morning, HG goes to HN's house so they could go on a date.
HG: good morning! did you sleep well?
HN: yes, how about you?
HG: because I missed you so much, I didn't sleep very well. Can you see the dark circles?
HN: lol, I really can't stop you/deal with you (meaning his cheesiness )
HG: have you thought about what you want to do today? We always have dates after work, but it's been awhile since we've had one on a weekend. Where do you want to go? I'll take you wherever you want to go.
HN: before that, there's a place a would like you to come with me...
At the hospital, HN inquired for her hospital records of 20 years ago. She mentioned that she was in a car accident and was adopted so we could get treatment. She's trying to recover her memories and was hoping that the records would help. The nurse basically told her that the hospital got rid of the records. Then HG asked if they can see the doctor that had treated her at that time and the nurse said that that was difficult too because it's been 20 years.
Next scene in the car...
HG: are you disappointed?
HN: my mom said to go to the hospital where she found me to see if it could her me remember something (sorry, i'm not sure about this one @stroppyse @jayakris, can you please help with this sentence )... what could I have expected, it's been 20 years... To be honest, I still wish it was all a dream because it's still hard to believe... (looking at HG).. I feel bad because of me, you had to drive so early in the morning.. sorry..
HG: i said before that instead of saying "sorry", you should be saying another word
HN: i love you
HG: it's nice to hear.. if you're not doing anything in particular today, then let's do what I want to do..
HN: sure..
In the park....
HN: I didn't know you had this kind of taste/preference (referring to the mat). Where did you get this mat?
HG: don't misunderstand, it was Leo who lent me this when he heard I was going on a date with you
HN: so what you wanted to do was to have a beer by han river? I could've just pay for the drinks since you've went thru a lot for me today
HG: what's wrong with this? the air is nice, we have refreshing beers, and you're by my side.... let's eat..

@stroppyse Hi dear! I don't mind . In fact, I want to thank you for providing a better & more accurate translation. Knowing that my Korean is very lacking, I dared to start translating HG & HN scenes, so that our lovely chingus in the thread have an idea of what their conversations are about until the full subs are up ... I like to think it of this way... I provide the rough translations, while you and @jayakris can clean it up ... hahaha.. just joking... no, but for real... please don't hesitate to make any corrections on my translations... I see it as a way to improve my Korean language skills
BTW, congratulations dear chingus to reaching the 150 pages
200 pages, here we go!!!

K1 Shopping Team Leader has a meeting with HG & HN to ask them if they're dating. HN responded "no" and HG said "yes". Since their responses didn't match, the Team Leader said she is confused. She then continued by saying that she's aware HG has a girlfriend and then asked HN if she has a boyfriend. HN struggled a bit to give a response, but HG firmly said that she has and it is him. HN apologized. Team Leader told them about the post that was uploaded on the channel's homepage about a MD and a vendor's/client's President are dating. She asked HG if he's aware of it and he said yes. She then continued by saying that the post was removed in the morning and advised them to be careful of their actions since the matter has reached upper management.
HG & HN talking in the hallway....
HN: why did you it? you could've played dumb... now you've told them we're dating...
HG: I didn't feel like hiding it...
HN: I'm concern it will cause you problems..
HG: are you worried about me now?
HN: I can't be worried about you?
HG: is not like loving someone is a crime/sin... i has never felt like this while dating you... plus, it has never affected the broadcast evaluations (sorry, not 100% sure about this last one )
HN: i know that, but still...
HG: we have done nothing wrong, so there's nothing to be worried about..
HN: you're not going to accept the disciplinary action, right?
HG: i may accept it... (he said something about the disciplinary action not being harsh), so don't worry about it.. but, why are you so kind? Don't you remember about the last time you didn't do anything out of consideration? This time you're keeping quiet out of consideration for me. Now every time I see you, you remind me to _______ (sorry again! he compared her to something, but couldn't figure out what exactly was it... I think I heard "potato" but couldn't really tell) I want to tease you.. So stop living like this and say everything you want to say to everyone, including me, without hiding anything..
(HN nods in agreement)
HG: oh by the way, why didn't you answer my call last night?
HN: i went to bed early
HG: let's have dinner tonight
HN: I can't, i have to go home early.. let's do it next time..
HG: ok...
HG & HN scene at the cafe...
HN: go back and said you did wrong...
HG: but I've done nothing wrong..
HN: how could you barging in and hand your resignation letter? it was so unlike you!
HG: i did it with a cool head... i made the decision after thinking it throughly.. i have no regrets.. I don't like it when you have to bow/beg for me... don't do it again...
HN: but it was because of me.. if you didn't dat...... (HG didn't let her finish saying it)
HG: if we didn't date.. do you have any idea how hard it would've been for me? have you ever thought about it? work is important, but right now the most important thing to me is YOU
HN: HG-ssi... I have somehthing to tell you..
HG: I've told you I'm ready anytime..
(HN told HG about her birth secret)
HN: are you surprised?
(HG hugs her)
HG: you probably had a hard time by yourself.. you've endured well...
HN: are you really ok?
HG: I should be the one asking you this question..
HN: I don't even how the person who have birth to me is like... you given up everything for a person like me... what I'm trying to say is that my birth parents may be people you never imagine before (as of bad people)..
HG: I've never thought about your background... all i see right now is the KHN-ssi that is front of me who is good... and this feeling has not changed..
(he removed the ring necklace off her neck and put the ring in her finger and kisses her hand)
HG: don't ever take it off again..
*the end*
P.S. sorry if the translations are lacking... I woke up late so I did them really fast so I could get to work on time..

@gladys57 @stroppyse Chingus, welcome to the thread!! It's always nice to have more people join to comment, share insights and our love for the OTP, but more importantly, to rant
@UnniSarah @dramaninja @meoooooowwww @angelwingssf @awsparkle @penelop3 @darr @jimb @ajummapunkinssi
CHINGUS, WE ARE REACHING THE 150 PAGES!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!
@UnniSarah Dear, can you share one of your amazing GIFs to celebrate the accomplishment once we reach it?

@xienrue Thanks dear for such a detailed description/information of the characters. I have not read the novel, but I'm thinking about reading because I would like to know more about Xiao Yan unconditional love for Xun Er. The drama is not showing how much he loves her, so this would be the main reason why I may decide to read the 1000+ chapters
I'm currently watching the drama and I'm on episode 14. So far, it been's very good. I would love it even more if they add more Xiao Yan & Xun Er scenes. I found it really cute when Xun Er was giving Xiao Yan a hard time because of Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran. Then he pouted his lips.... such a cutie...
Does any of you know what he was going to say to Xun Er about the "most important reason" for not getting married? Was he going to say that Xun Er is the main reason why he couldn't really get married to Xiao Yi Xian?

HG is currently the MD in charge of HN Apparel, so he does have a direct connection with HN. I think this is why the the Team Leader will meet with both of them on Monday's episode. I find it amusing how the writer thinks about adding all of these twists in few episodes. JE going abroad and handing back HN Apparel to HG... Now, once HG gets it back and a storm comes their way because of their personal relationship affecting the professional side... *sigh*

I know right! I'm not sure if the post can be seeing by every employee or not... if it's not a post accessible to the public, we know for sure that management will certainly get it and they could be the ones who make it public to the employees

(Here we go... HN & HG first scene at K1 Shopping...)
HG: let's call this enough for today's meeting
HN: ok
HG: don't you think that JE leaving going abroad is a good thing?
HN: yes, the fact that she could go study abroad at this time/age, I also feel a bit jealous too, right?
HG: NO, that's not what I mean.. since I'm the current MD in charge, I can be with you... that's what I meant..
HN: ahhh.. I thought...
HG: wait... you mentioned about being jealous of JE going abroad... does this mean that if you have a chance in the future (to go abroad), you'll do it anytime?
HN: of course! if the opportunity presents, of course I should go
HG: are you sincere?
HN: yes! wouldn't you go if the opportunity is presented to you?
HG: of course not!
HN: why?
HG: what do you mean why? where am I going to go if you're here? But you, even if I'm here, you'll leave regardless. Is this what you meant?
HN: you are making a fuss for something that hasn't happened...
HG: why wouldn't I be making a fuss right now? (because of what she said)
HN: you must really like me... is a bit pressuring..
HG: KHN-ssi....
HN: I was just joking.... a joke...
(HG looks down on the documents with a sad expression)
HN: I was really joking! knowing how you'd react, of course i wouldn't go either!
HG: can I believe/trust you?
HN: yes, you can believe/trust me... I can't even make a joke... I just wanted to double-checked.. since a cool/capable guy like you is my boyfriend, is hard to believe...
HG: you like confusing/scaring people back & forth (sorry, not sure this is correct )
HN: is my charm..
HG: no, there's no charm in it...

Thanks for sharing the preview!
Preview shows that SH is going to brainwash HG's mom about taking care of her husband because EA tends to seduce guys
JH talks to JG about registering they marriage certificate and he says that there's no hurry and they can't take their time.... JH is surprise about his response...
It also seems that K1 Shopping employees are aware of a vendor and MD dating within the company and it was posted in the channel's homepage.. Team Leader asks HG & HN if they've seeing the post... HN asks HG something about a disciplinary action...

@dramaninja LOL.. thanks for letting me know... I just fixed it
Last scene.. HG walking HN home...
HN: I enjoyed today's movie..
HG: really?
HN: yes
HG: what was the title?
HN: what?
HG: the movie we watched..
HN: is....
HG: wow.. I was just asking to double check... you really don't know the title?
HN: you're making me say the word "I'm sorry" even tho I didn't want to... (sorry if this sounds confusing.. she basically feels bad)
HG: you don't need to feel sorry... it is not a movie I made/created anyways...
(HN smiled at the joke)
HG: also, it wasn't fun/interesting (referring to the movie)
HN: you should go now...
HG: now that I've seen you smiling, I can rest assured... i'll leave now...
*the end*
Recaps of some events that happened on today's episode...
- JE asked DG if they really can't be together. DG answered her "yes, that's right" and wished her to have a safe trip. JE told him that at least she's done everything in power for them to be together so she has no regrets. She also told him that is his decision now to figure out what he really wants
- HN told JH the truth about her not being EA's biological daughter
On the preview, JH will be telling SH about HN reminding her of SJ...

Next scene...
HG: try it.. hurry..
(HN eats but chokes. As HN pulls out a tissue, she ended up pulling out the energy/vitamin drink that her mom her mom gave her)
HG: is a vitamin/energy? did your mom give it to you?
(HN gave him an affirmative answer by shaking her head)
HG: no doubt it was your mom! Ah, yesterday, did you know what mother in law said to me? She thank me for loving you. And what did you think I told her?
HN: what did you say?
HG: I told her I'm more grateful for giving me you (I think he meant as given her birth). Did I do right?
(HN said yes shaking her head and cries)
HG: what's going on of all of the sudden? Did I do something wrong?
(HN said no shaking her head and cries louder. HG moves the lunch box so he can sit next to her and embraces her)
